Case IH Header Manufacturing

To ensure the highest levels of quality and reliability Case IH has made significant investments into header manufacturing

All Case IH 3020, 3100 series drapers and 4400/4200 series corn heads are built in Burlington, Iowa for model year 2014. The 3016 pick-up header is produced in the Saskatoon Assembly Plant, with the 2010 head being manufactured in Rock Island, Illinois

The Burlington Assembly Plant began building Case Combines in 1937

The Burlington plant has gone through extensive renovations to incorporate the latest manufacturing technology

Industry Leading Features

Frame

The Case IH 3100 series draper headers have been designed from the ground up starting with the frame. All 3152/3162 frames are designed with fully welded construction to ensure strength and durability in the field

The frame has also been designed for simplicity. The 3152/3162 requires very little set-up and is simple to make adjustments as needed

CentraCut™ (Knife Drive)

The CentraCut provides the ability for a narrow end dividers and a well balanced knife drive since the head is driven from the center. This also eliminates the need for a double knife drive

The CentraCut is a hydraulically driven mechanical drive, with adjustable knife speed on the back side of the header. If the knife becomes plugged, it is fully reversible from in the cab

The drive is very simple in design and eliminates having extra components on the ends of the header

For high levels of productivity, knife speed can be adjusted all the way to an impressive 1260 strokes per minute

Flexible Cutterbar (3162)

Features 3" up and 3" down for a total of 6" of cutterbar travel. This provides the ability to harvest low podded beans in uneven terrain. The cutterbar can also be locked ridged for cutting off of the ground

Cutterbar tension is controlled using a simple rubber torsion block that provides consistent response through the full range of cutterbar travel

The cutterbar flotation can be adjusted on the back of the header or from the comfort of the cab as an option

Draper Belts

To ensure the highest quality the 3152/3162 drapers use WCCO Raptor belting. WCCO is the leading manufacture of draper belt when it comes to agriculture

If the draper belt became damaged from a rock or foreign object it can be serviced rather than replaced

A Seed Saver Channel on the bottom edge of the draper belts allows the grain to be pulled in to the combine instead of being lost

Cam Action Reel

The Case IH six bat cam action reel is designed to positively engage crop then gently lift the crop and move it over the cutterbar and across the draper belt floor to be conveyed by the belt

For different crop conditions the cam timing can easily be changed to provide different reel tine angles

Low Speed Transport

The low speed transport system is available as an option for the 3152/3162. The transport wheels can be hydraulically deployed in less than 20 seconds from the comfort of the cab using the propulsion handle

This industry exclusive features saves time and provides a convenience that no other header offers

Drives

The 3152/3162 series draper headers uses a simple, but, very heavy duty drive system

The feed auger utilizes a PTO shaft drive

When the header is engaged after being reversed the side drapers are delayed on engagement to prevent slugging the combine feeder house
